The 5 mm on the side of the arrows I shoot (Easton FMJ arrows) designates the outside diameter of the shaft.

Carbon Arrows Carbon shafts, as well as carbon/aluminum composite shafts, are the final arrow type. These are mainly used for long-distance shooting or for 3D archery.

All else being equal (weight, durability, cost, etc) smaller has some advantages but on the list of things that will likely make a difference on a particular shot in the next 18years, arrow diameter is way down the list. I've been super happy with 5mm FMJ. Awesome penetration on animals and easy to pull from targets.

5/16" Diameters for carbon are most commonly 5/16", but many options are now available in larger and smaller diameters. The smaller diameters are rapidly growing in popularity as they have less wind drag and deeper penetration compared to arrows of the same weight.

These days, it seems more hunters are filling their quivers with carbon arrows. There is a lot to like. Weight is the primary reason hunters switch to carbon arrows, but improved penetration thanks to a smaller diameter shaft and durability also helps the decision.

Carbon arrows are one of the most popular choices for hunters due to their durability, accuracy, and lightweight. They're constructed with a carbon fiber core, making them more resistant to bending or breaking compared to traditional arrows.

Easton Arrows Made in USA Since 1922 Since their introduction in 2004, AXIS arrows have emerged as the best all-around arrow for bowhunters looking for the most reliable results in taking down big game.

Simply put, 100-grain broadheads are not the best choice for most bowhunters. Heads weighing 125 grains or slightly more are superior in almost every way to 100-grain broadheads for hunting, and I'll tell you why.

Dr. Ed Ashby recommends a much heavier setup for maximum performance, starting at 650 grains for deer-sized animals. For my personal setup, I found myself somewhere in the middle of those two trains of thought. I shoot 570 grain arrows from my 65-lb Mathews VXR with a 30-inch draw length.
